Reading this kind of frustrated me. I am fairly aware of the deep web and I've branched a tiny bit into the "darknet". Seeing a list of levels is
just peaking my curiosity. As far as I know, I can get to the first half of level 4 if I felt like it. I want to look more into this but I still get
quite uneasy once I get to a certain depth of the internet, even though I do know quite a bit about anonymity.

Well I was in hopes TOR might be the answer for me but now I see it isn't - meaning - if TOR is going to be monitoring what I do, to sorrupt it
(possibly) what difference is there between them and the 'devil' I'm already dealing with? I might as well stick with the one I know, lol.

So, I'll find some other service to help because I'm bloody sick and tired of classic material from the States being BLOCKED because I'm in
Italy.

Who in the hell does Amazon think they are to BLOCK Jane Austin? That's just ludicrous. Absolutely ludicrous.

If you've ever played Shadowrun, you'll know that it's not a very good idea to go into something like this blindly. Even then, unless you're
extra, extra careful, you may stumble into something you really, really don't want to be in.

Which is why I'll be staying away from TOR and anything related to it. I'm quite happy floating on the surface with my water wings. It's much safer
up here.

Umm, that doesn't make any sense. TOR is a method of anonymity, but there is a protocol that only works with a TOR client, that contains a .onion
address. Like .com addresses are on the WWW, .onion addresses work only with TOR.

So unless you want to go to the dark web, you wont. As in, you want to go to www.google.com then by all means do it as normal. Using a TOR network
will not make any difference to your every day browsing.

Your fear is entirely unwarranted. I mean, do you go to google, and search for bad things? Then why would you using TOR?

It's just a series of PC's taking your traffic to and from you and the server you want to access. The only one who can look at ANY of the info you
request, is the exit node. But that is why you don't log into any servers, your information is accessible to that one person. Everyone in between
you/your proxy and the exit node is encrypted.

So, you can stay away from the bogey man if you don't understand it, or you can use it as a tool that it is. But if your fear is that you'll
somehow accidentally end up on a scumbag porn site with illegal content, then unless you actively seek it, your fear is unfounded... it's no
different to the normal internet...

There have been several documented attacks that can make it possible to
discover the originating IP address. I suggest anybody actively using Tor or considering using it read up on the Bad Apple Attack against it which
over 23 days uncovered the IP addresses of some 10,000 Tor users. Just remember folks, there are no absolutes where privacy and security meet
computers, surf at your own risk.

Using Tor to avoid SOPA wouldn't have worked in the first place. That was the first thing I thought of when I first heard about SOPA and PIPA...but
both had language that made it illegal for any site to "help" or assist people from accessing those sites which were banned by the laws. It basically
would have made Tor illegal for the public to use.

It also could well have been interpreted that just using something like Google to find a file sharing site...even if it wasn't blocked yet would have
been illegal. So Google could well have been in violation of the laws for helping people access those sites.

SOPA and PIPA would have basically shut the Tor network down for all intents and purposes.

Some false information here, I think.

Technically, I doubt that SOPA/PIPA would have made Tor illegal, or that it would have been able to stop Tor access/functionality either way.

These bills would have allowed blacklisting comparable (identical effectively?) to server-side shutdowns for sites accused of violations. If all
Internet service/hosting providers are honoring the blacklists (or whatever the forced technical solution), no one's going to be accessing them,
regardless of Tor/etc. Even if people could somehow still hit the server, no one's going to update/maintain a site that most can't access
anymore.

Has anyone noticed this? Your IP address "anyhow" changes over a period of time without having to use any proxies.

Just switch off you modem and dont use it for few months.

For example, lets say your actual location is "New Zealand", and you got registered in ATS. So now your actual IP address got stored in ATS database
because you did not use any proxies, TOR(or whatever).

And then for some reason you did not use your modem for few months. Now if someone tried to track your location using the IP that was stored in the
database, the IP address will point somewhere in japan.

You can even check this in your email. Go to your inbox and check your friend's email that was sent to you 4 years back. View the content in the
"header" section of your friend's email. You will find his/her IP address. Try to trace the ip address. You will end up in some other location.

While this might seem accurate it unfortunately is not; your ISP hands out IP addresses using a DHCP server, this server can and often is configured
to remember who had what address at any given time, so its just a matter of pulling the log files and searching out who had IP address 192.168.0.211
or whatever it happens to be.

I've used Tor, I installed it myself, checked with mp5, used a proxy, yada yada yada. It really isn't difficult to learn if you're serious about
it. Just don't go into the dungeon until you level up your knowledge a few times. Then as you explore the dungeon, make sure to level up your
knowledge again before going deeper. If you're serious, start at the Tor website and read everything you can get your hands on until you feel that
you have a grasp on it.

I'm no expert, but these guys afraid to access Al-Jazeera and RT without using anonymity software need to hit the bong and chill out. They're so
afraid for you that they refuse to give you any info. Reminds of abstinence education, and we all know how well that works...

Seek and ye shall find. But make sure to gear up and mentally prepare yourself for a stupid mistake that may leave you looking at something you do
not want to see. There are real monsters in this world and the deepnet is where they talk to one another.

My advise if you want to be super careful is to dedicate a system to this. You can find someone to build you a good gaming system for $400 easy. It
is worth the investment for the treasure trove of information available to those willing to adventure. But if you find out that the dark places are
not for you, you can wipe it and you still have a new gaming system.

If you're not the type to follow the path in the woods to see where it leads - even when it goes onto someone's property, then stay away. But if
you're like me, then you won't be able to resist.

use tor
go to hidden wiki
and be carefull what you click
remember hiddenwiki is the kindergarden of the deepweb
everything you need to go deeper is on hiddenwiki if you know what your looking for

and thanks staff for the warnings

3warnings on 1 post wow overkill much lol ah well life is such
also i would like to apologise to anybody i may have offended with my profane words on previous posts
but claiming i know squat about deepweb or the internet offends me

anyway once again apologys and if you do crawl the deep web
please BE CAREFULL
who knows if you hit the right places you might end up getting an invite to places where information is openly avaliable
